New Delhi, Dec 16: Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee today threw his weight behind Sourav Ganguly saying the former cricket captain surely deserved a place in the Indian Test team.

"I think we should not play politics in cricket or any kind of game. He is a good player, he should find his place in the Indian team," Mukherjee told reporters here. 

Ganguly was dropped from the team for the third Test against Sri Lanka, beginning on Sunday, in spite of a decent performance in the second Test at Delhi. (Agencies)
